What a great book! Folktales, recipes, crafts. The frosting for the Big Cupcakes is my daughter's favorite icing. I mixed the egg whites and sugar first for about five minutes, then add the lemon juice. She says it's like donut frosting.

Very cute short stories, I have not tried any of the recipes yet. My favorite story is about the Easter Bunnies.
